Warren Wiersbe explained, "Our salvation involves all three Persons in the Godhead (Eph. 1:3-14; 1 Peter 1:2). You cannot be saved apart from the Father's electing grace, the Son's loving sacrifice, and the Spirit's ministry of conviction and regeneration."
Salvation shows us the Trinity, with God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our salvation is the work of the Godhead. It is the purpose and plan of God the Father. It was accomplished by the death, burial and resurrection of God's Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Our salvation is applied through the conviction and regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
God the Father elected or chose to save us by grace through faith in Christ (Eph. 2:8-9). Grace defines salvation as the gift of God. Election is the choice of God (Eph. 1:4-6). The elect of God includes all who have or will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. We are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God (1 Peter 1:2).
God the Father sent His Son into the world to seek and save us (Luke 19:10). He died to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21). Christ died to save sinners. Christ was raised from the dead to justify us from all sin. We are truly saved, when we believe the gospel of Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-4). The faith to believe in Christ is an abiding gift of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3, 13:13).
